Users paste suspicious emails, text messages, URLs, or screenshots and receive an instant verdict — safe, suspicious, or scam — with detailed red flags and explanations. The 6-layer detection engine checks URL reputation against Google Web Risk and VirusTotal, analyzes domain intelligence through WHOIS and SSL records, validates email authentication via SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, uses Claude Sonnet AI to detect manipulation and brand impersonation, performs visual analysis with OCR on screenshots, and cross-references a community database of known scam patterns. No signup required. Works in 30+ languages. Privacy-first — no content is stored after analysis.
